Mississippi rain coming down on me   Thirty more miles, I'm back in Tennessee   I keep watching that block but the hands don't move   The road gets longer the closer I get to you      Windshield wipers slappin' out the time   Radio on, trying to ease my mind   Lonesome song telling me the truth   The road gets longer the closer I get to you      This ol' pickup truck ain't fast enough   I've been gone too long, I've got the pedal down to the floor   But it's my heart that's racing on, I ain't far from heaven   But one thing that is true, the road gets longer the closer I get to you (x2)
